He knows only squats and prison, until the day when the disease falls on him: AIDS. We are in the heart of the 1980s, nothing yet exists to fight this virus. However, against all odds, it is the latter, his monkey as he calls him, who saves Jako from heroin and the streets. For 30 years, he has lived with him. He tells us the story of this extraordinary coexistence and gives us a lively and colorful life lesson.
